I have read that if you arrive in late December/January most of the accommodation has already been taken and you will be kind of SOL. I am going to be looking for accommodation for ONE for Jan-March (3 months) as close to the village or creekside as possible, for as cheap as possible (strongly prefer a private room though).

I was looking for a friend this season and it's nearly impossible to find anything reasonable once December hits. Creekside will definitely be more affordable, lived there last year myself, may be walkable depending on the exact location. Do you know where the house is located?

It's really a combination of the two problems, but you make luck out with a room in a house.

Your best shot would probably be subletting a room from somebody travelling for a month. Unfortunately you can't post wanted ads on that Facebook group, but there's always Craigslist. Getting your own apartment for a month mid-season would probably be ~$3,000 I'd guess.

Yeah, a room in a house is what I'd like, but it appears that it may be a challenge.

The Creekside House is:
2121 Lake Placid Rd
which looks like a pretty easy walk

If I am looking for just ONE month (March 1-30), do you think a shared room (@ creekside) for $750 is still a good deal, or is this late enough in the season that I will be able to find better/cheaper/private things on Craigslist etc.?
